I often work with people who are interested in feeling better and in understanding themselves more deeply. They may be processing past trauma, dealing with difficult emotions, exploring their identity, and/or navigating life stressors or changes. These individuals and couples come to me with various experiences in therapy, some with years and others with none. Regardless, they tend to share a desire to feel better in some capacity, and my goal is to walk with them on that journey, ensuring they feel safe, seen, and affirmed along the way.

We may work well together if you want to explore how past experiences connect to your current challenges or keep you from feeling better. Or, if you want to explore your thoughts and beliefs and work to reframe what’s not helping, and build on those that keep you moving forward. We may also work well together if you want to learn mindfulness and somatic techniques to reconnect with your emotions and body, or to cope with current challenges. Together, we will decide what would be most helpful for you on your journey toward feeling better and living as your authentic self. 

My journey to becoming a therapist is rooted in my own experiences navigating mental health challenges and identity concerns. With the support of compassionate mental health providers, I was able to better understand myself and move toward healing and growth. These experiences fostered a deep sense of empathy and compassion that I bring to my work today. My goal is to provide a safe, affirming space where clients can be their authentic selves, feel seen and heard, and explore the challenges and experiences that are important to them.

When I'm not in session, you can likely find me listening to music or podcasts, watching sports or reality TV, going for walks, doing yoga, and spending time with friends and family.
